Success Story... I think



Recommended Posts

I am 2 months out and have lost 57 lbs. I still think I am that bigger girl from before my surgery. My boss told me today to STOP wearing my old clothes because they were TOO BIG and to wear smaller ones. She knows I have a variety of sizes in my closet. She kinda yelled at me when she said it. :director: SOOO, when I got home I put several items in the goodwill basket and moved the smaller sizes to the front. I am going to take my boss' advice and wear the smaller clothes!!!! :thumb:

I would call this an interesting NSV. Someone has noticed your weightloss and wants you to show off your new body. Albeit yelling might have been a bit much.

Congratulations on the wonderful weightloss. Keep us posted.

I first wore clothes tight bc I was fat and they were to small. After surgery I wore them loose bc I was fighting trying not to buy clothes. Now I buy my clothes bc I have no sizes like this and I buy them tight. I use a belt often, tuck in shirts. It is kind of a 3 phase rhino. The funny part was when you need clothes you also often need shoes underwear, pajamas, etc bc it all gets too big. How fun, enjoy.

If I may ask, what exactly are you doing that you have had such fantastic loss? What are you eating, how much, what kind of exercising, etc. I am almost 15 weeks out and have only lost 47 lbs - and the first 20 were in the first 2 wks post op so don't really "count". 27 pounds in 3 months is really slow. =(

I eat really anything I want and have a taste for. The only exercising I do is walking and that is minimal. I don't do anything different than before, just smaller portions. I am a heavy weight so I contribute that as a factor.

Yeah, I'm a heavy weight too. Day of surgery weight, 294. Current weight, 245. Date of surgery, 14 July. What is your target calorie count/protein count/exercise? My surgeon and nut have me on 600 cals a day. My carbs are low, around 10 grams a day, and my Protein high, around 85 grams.

I have been as diligent as I can with keeping my clothing size consistent with the changes in my body. The droopy butt pants look is NOT cute or sexy. :omg_smile:

It's costing me a bit more than I want to spend to keep up with my sizes, but all the money I'm saving on food is pretty much making things even. I have been buying my clothes from the outlet store and sometimes at Walmart. I found a new pair of jeans from Goodwill for $5 the other day. I just can't afford regular prices when my size keeps changing. I make sure I have at least 5 pair of pants in the right size and wear them until they get too baggy in the butt. The shirts are a little easier to work with. It's an interesting problem to have.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
